This is a sticky and complex issue (I think). We shut down a SharePoint Server several years ago and now we need it back up. I did a Full SQL database backup of everything on the server. Here is the version information:

Microsoft SQL Server 2016 (SP2-GDR) (KB4532097) – 13.0.5102.14 (X64) Dec 31 2019 22:39:35 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation Standard Edition (64-bit) on Windows Server 2016 Standard 10.0 <X64> (Build 14393: )

See below for a list of all the databases that were in the backup.

Questions:

Who do I need to talk to for a process to restore these databases on a server?

What kind of restoration should I expect? Will I end up with a functional SP server?

Thanks,

Joseph
